Which mechanism causes deflection of starlight near massive objects?

💡 Explanation

Light follows the curves in spacetime. Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of light rays. Stellar position appears shifted therefore gravity not plasma affects light paths, where denser atmosphere deflects light less than immense gravity.
